'Bad Herr Dye'
"In a stunning power play in Brussels, Germany and France moved to change the practice of having a rotating presidency of the European Council, which now gives smaller nations influence, to a system with a long-term president. This Franco-German czar of the European Union would dominate a toothless president of the European Commission, chosen by the European Parliament."
NYT Op-ed suggests that Germany is in cahoots with France to engineer Franco-German domination of the EU and to use Frances UN Veto (Germany has no such veto) as an engine of international diplomacy. Is this true? I have no freakin' idea. Time to start following EU politics a little more closely.
